1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A 54-year-old woman with a history of excess weight and active smoking presented to the emergency department (ED) due to syncope after a long flight. She reported a similar episode in the previous month, which had also occurred after a long air voyage. She presented with hypotension, dehydration, and hyperlactacidemia. The clinical team ruled out acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, and cerebrovascular accident. After clinician insistence, she reported having ingested anhydrous caffeine, an over-the-counter diuretic usually used by individuals seeking to lose weight, and a diagnosis of caffeine intoxication was made. The over-the-counter sale of this apparently innocuous substances is a rising phenomenon, and physicians should be aware of the signs of its ingestion.
